Auditioning Binding for Dawn's Quilt, August 2010, Rebels

She decided to not use a binding, but to use a facing to better show the border.

Tina's latest


Tina is the newest quilt-maker in our group. She only started making quilts this year. Look what she's doing already! The border is from a table cloth she purchased in Guatemala.

My Version of Vintage Quilt, done with Denyse Schmidt fabrics

We talked about these fabrics at Rebels meeting. They are now collectors. Quilt made as shop sample for Peacock and Periwinkle Shop in Mulkilteo. Jovita reported that it sold lots of fabric.

Anna Williams meets Annie Mae Young!


  On my design wall.


Honestly, If I was working like I did for past few days, I would have finished this top. But, I put the blocks on the design wall and it stirred up my brain. Should I blend them or not?
That is the million dollar question.
What do you think?

Input please!



Hi Rebels and friends,

I've been playing with my scrap bin, cutting 5-sided pieces for centers (thanks to Victoria, Roberta and Diane), and pulling scraps randomly. These are 12" blocks. I love crazy quilts, and am thinking of making a bed-size one.

Am I getting too crazy here? Do I need more solids or contrast or anything? I probably won't do flowers for all the centers. That could get too sweet, but it sure is tempting.

What do you think? Can I trust the scrap bin? Or should I edit a bit?

Please be honest. These are only trial blocks, and I had my fun making them.

Thanks!
